Kuro no Maou

Episode 780: The Capital of Hell (2)

The moon of dawn, 14th.

The unanimity of the Congress of Carlamara has declared the establishment of a new national pandemonium, a week earlier.

The city doesn't seem to have changed anything...

Heavy storms clear and many desert ships come and go through sandy harbors today.

The vigeons there were also restored, and the show was back on the air with the brilliant idols singing and dancing again.

Joseph Rodriguez, boss of Chaos Legion, looks out from inside the carriage all over the city as if he had regained such routine.

"I haven't been here in a long time, like the Central District..."

Joseph crushes such childish thoughts inside.

I can't say bad things because it's Lily's guy who's in this carriage.

A man with red eyes in his white hair, a puppetless look. I knew about the species of artificial man (homunculus) as knowledge, that it was occasionally discovered in ancient ruins, but it was the first time I had actually seen it.

Two weeks more since Lily got the keys to the treasure trove. The other day, this man finally visited the mansion as Lily's use, and a call was made to Joseph.

The pick-up carriage is a large carriage of four large luxurious white horses, once used by Xanadu.

The interior of the car is spacious and the ride is great… but restless.

I've only been on a ride-along carriage that is used by the general public. The Rodriguez family used to have multiple carriages as well, but it's been a long time since the organization tilted them off and sold them off.

Carla, Mara, on the finest carriage. Feeling so-so, but not as a boss, Joseph kept looking out the window silently, pretending he was sitting back somewhere.

"Mmm."

It was our Lord, Lily, who accidentally caught my eye, in a large vision.

"Guys, hey! Banzai, time for gymnastics!

It started broadcasting a week ago, on Lily's show.

Lily stays young, like a children's show, a short show that ends in five minutes, just performing simple songs and dancing.

This is flowing twice in the morning and evening, at a set time.

Uke is not bad. Kids can also be seen imitating it a lot.

Lily just wants to do idols, not adventure kings, it's just a show rumored to be etc... things were different in this central district than in the local Anglo-South.

"What, are you... dancing to adulthood"

If a child is gathering and dancing in front of a vigeon, it's a smiling sight on every street corner...... big adults mingle in and seriously dancing is a creepy word to the end.

Men, women, guards who were all on patrol on horseback, are deliberately coming down and dancing in front of Vigeon.

"This is the same as then"

Joseph immediately guessed that he was being manipulated.

Meet Lily is that she fanned people with that demonic singing to bring a large crowd to the front of the mansion.

But there is no Lily herself on this occasion right now.

"No way......"

A bad feeling about Russia swells up in my chest.

Banzaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

The carriage continued to advance and soon arrived at Temennigle as the temperamental screams cling to the whole city.

"Dear Joseph, please proceed this way. Her Majesty Queen Lily is waiting for you."

"Um, it was daunting"

What, am I going alone from here on out? Though he was careful...... and so on, Joseph cut off his shoulders and proceeded to walk, as he boasted of his pitch-black giant body.

Ahead was not the main entrance into the giant ancient tower Temennigle, but the monolith of the entrance to the first dungeon.

The moment Joseph steps into the magical formation of the metastasis, he is wrapped in light and activates normally.

After a moment of darkness, if Joseph opens his eyes, there's a

"Long time no see, Joseph. Welcome to the Queen."

There was Lily, sitting on the throne of blooming flowers in full bloom.

Behind it sits a giant slab of pitch-black stone, the original monolith, with a magical formation marked by ancient red letters flowing and changing at a remarkable rate.

I knew immediately that this was the treasure trove of examples.

But the brilliant mountain of gold is nowhere to be found. There's just the original monolith and Lily's throne.

A round of giant white lilies. That is the throne. A large pure white petal is taking Lily's little body.

There were flower gardens spread inside an inorganic white hall, centered on the throne of flowers the fairy deserved.

It's an odd sight to see real grasshoppers thrive, though in the deepest depths of ancient ruins...... just one fairy girl there makes me think that's natural.

This is already Lily's realm, as I called myself 'Between Queens'.

"Joseph Rodriguez, I'm here."

On one knee, take a courtesy of your subordinates, and first offer a formal greeting.

In the middle of a tough word of celebration, Lily raised her little hand and took control of Joseph.

"You don't have to be so hard."

"No, Master Lily has already officially taken office as queen. Rather than this, it would be better to call him Your Majesty."

"You don't have to call me by name. I just named it for now, because no one's admitted it yet."

It is more a fact than just self-inflicted.

Lily, Queen of the New Nation Pandemonium.

That was just announced during Carla Mara through Vision and nothing else. Without the ceremony of reign, no minister or people would follow Lily in the first place.

countries without entities, all I could say was that

"If time goes on like this, everyone will admit it."

"Yeah, that's right. So for a week first, I concentrated on minimal containment."

Lily is by no means a wacko who was scorning Joseph.

A week after congressional day, there was no tone out, because Lily couldn't move from here.

"… is this the true function of the original monolith? Or the help of Master Lily's protection."

"Both. This is the only place I can brainwash and rule the people, and I can do it."

Now that he has mastered the original monolith, it is time for Joseph to be taught the secret of Pandemonium's reign.

"You think it's bad? I can't believe there's no freedom."

"If so, was it named Pandemonium"

Pandemonium, the capital of hell.

It is an ancient legend, passed down to ancient times.

It's not a very famous story in modern times, but I know it if it's a fairy tribe that inherits the knowledge of England.

"But it's not even a wack of perfection. It is just up to the Central District that we are given a brainwashing effect for a short and powerful period of time. As for the outer periphery, not so much."

"Is it because the number of visions and monoliths placed is very different within and outside?"

"Exactly. It's important that we have both."

The compartment, called the central district of Carlamara, is clearly separated from the outside from the beginning, as it is surrounded by a large water borehole.

The Great Labyrinth of Carla Mara is inherently a giant shelter that houses large numbers of humans. A time when ancient people with excellent magic skills were out there so 'enemies' that they had to go out of their way to dive underground. The ground part of the shelter around Temennigle should have probably been a military base to prepare ourselves for the external enemies that drove us.

That part is the modern central district. In fact, shelter defense boundaries and thought functions are also starting to activate just from the border between the central and peripheral districts, and whatever, it is now possible to deploy thick bulkheads from the bottom of the water borehole.

Anyway, as the shelter's original facility, the Central District is fully staffed with Vision and Monolith, the two facilities, and the majority of them are still in active operation.

"Spiritual magic for brainwashing is based on 'domination (dominate)', telepathically diffusing effects to enhance them with sound and light. It's my original magic."

The magic of brainwashing was understood by the study of 'Thought Controllers (Enseling)'.

Telepathy to activate and fly effects is originally held as the inherent magic (extra) of the Fairy Clan.

The method of appealing to vision to exert an intense hypnotic effect was learned from the bitter experience in the Last Rose nest.

the qualities Lily may possess and numerous experiences. All of them combined, and now, at this time, a massive brainwashing magic was finally completed, enough to manipulate more than a million people.

"If you're going to make a strong name for yourself..." Give It All (All For One), "or something like that"

"... to the help of so mighty, no words"

To the best of Joseph's knowledge, there has been no magic of vagaries so far in history.

The spiritual magic of a brainwashing system that manipulates a person's mind is forbidden at any time and in any country.

Though that is a special place exclusivity called Carla Mara, the fact that it can be activated enough to manipulate all the people of a country is... nothing more than a nightmare.

If you can manipulate that heart directly, it would be a more terrible king than any tyrant.

"It's going to take another month or so for this effect to fully penetrate."

"We haven't heard of any major noise in the Central District this past week. The brainwashing effect should be seen as progressing without anyone noticing it or suspecting it."

To that end, I suppressed the senators first.

Not "Give It All (All For One)," but by instant brainwashing with "Thought Dominant Devices (Fairy Rings). This was the best way to silence them in the ruling class of Carla Mara.

Bring them to the bottom of the grid.

The title Fair Heritage Distribution, etc. is just bait to lure them more greedy than anyone else in this city.

"Yes, because it's the hardest part to make a scene. The battle over Xanadu's legacy is over, so now we don't want to make extra casualties. Everyone in this country is a valued citizen of my, no, Chrono."

The important thing when establishing the new dynasty is that it is acceptable to 10,000 people.

Whether I proclaim myself king or not, if the country seems to be breaking in two and continuing civil strife, it is tantamount to no dominance as king.

Even without such a reason, Chrono doesn't want any more contention in Carla Mara.

Lily chose domination by large-scale brainwashing because she is most efficient and at the same time is convinced that the method is the thing that best suits Chrono's wishes.

"Let it go and the reign will be complete. So maintain the status quo for the time being. Nothing has changed before, the peaceful routine is back… yes, I hope everyone thinks about it"

"I thought you were a wise judge. Rapid institutional change creates a great deal of backlash and confusion."

Lily has done nothing but bind the senator with a ring and activate the brainwashing magic.

impose a new tax or abolish slavery altogether? No such decree has been issued by Queen Lily.

The senators have already brainwashed, so if you want to do it, most of them can pass through. But I only give them "as usual" instructions.

"Because this country is a merchant's country. If you poke poorly and the business leans, there will be a lot of people in need."

"You're right. Carla Mara is made up only by the power of the economy. If it shakes, let the new Pandemonium also lose its power."

Lily is special, not a bright wack to the economy.

No, but I know that if one big merchant falls, it will affect not only the people he employs, but also the many people who are involved and doing business there.

No matter how horrible the slave trade, they make money and get daily food.

If you lose your money, you'll have trouble eating. If you eat them up, people steal them easily, and kill them.

It's a bad punishment. Solemn integrity, if you crush a merchant you don't like, you will create a large number of unemployed people. The unemployed will be transformed into criminals as they are and into a people who pay their taxes in earnest, a hard-to-say existence.

It still takes time for Lily's dominance to penetrate. In the meantime, the country is in trouble even if it is rough, and the people run away from it. So we have to reassure everyone that life is no different.

"But I'm not even going to be waiting for a lot of non billies."

"Is that… an example, a mighty enemy,"

Speaking of which, you haven't told me about the Crusaders yet.

"Crucifixion. It's a fanatical human religion that believes in white gods."

"Oh, you know what?

"We knew that 'Silverian Familia' had been secretly believing for generations"

Lily explains that the conversation is quick.

That crusaders who profess crucifixion are coming to conquer the Pandora continent over the Ark continent.

And that, like Silverian, there are also a significant number of potential Crusaders who have been believing in the Crusades since antiquity, who are trying to respond to this crusader expedition.

"And most importantly, white gods do not recognize non-human races. You know why?

"God of man, isn't that why"

"Though this is only my guess, White God is not a wacko who loves humans otherwise. It's just that there's a lot of people out there who need to be human."

When it comes to loving humans, Karamara, we can say that God also has love. It is the desire of man that rejoices, but therefore his presence is affirmed.

White God, on the other hand, has given man a variety of favors, including twelve apostles. With the power of its patronage, the Crucifixion has come to dominate half of the Ark continent, and it will be the reason why faith has continued uninterrupted in the Pandora continent.

Humans increase, demons destroy. That's what white god wants. That's what the Bible says.

"So why do we need that person?

"Come on, I don't know that far yet... surprisingly, it could be a simple reason"

Lily figured it out and broke the story, which was just a guess.

Joseph would have understood the presence of the Crusaders, and it doesn't matter from now on that he realizes that threat.

"Now it's not strange when and where there's a war on the Pandora continent, and once there's a sole, there's a war spreading across the continent"

"So if the Crusaders win, the non-human race like us"

"Kill them all, because extinction of the demons is justice to them"

There is no path to peace. Because God will not allow it.

"That's the kind of wacko you have to get ready for the war."

"Then it won't be enough to continue Carla Mara's business as before"

Carla Mara now has money.

Sure, you can buy anything gold, but it doesn't make sense if you don't use it.

If we are going to wage war, we first have soldiers to fight, and their equipment, and food to feed.

And a soldier is a profession that only kills and destroys, and produces nothing. An army is a monster that devours and kills only.

I have gold to keep the monster, and if I don't use it well, the monster won't grow up.

"Army development takes advantage of shelter functions."

The Great Labyrinth is no longer just a dungeon. Although the area completely dungeoned and left the original control system has expanded considerably due to the passing of too many years.

Nevertheless, it is possible, to some extent, to use its function as an original shelter. Its scope, for one thing, has too many resources to organize ten thousand armies in modern times.

"We can create all the food we feed our soldiers and all the gear to fight, just here. It's an essential place to live, and you have all the monsters to fight in training."

"Excellent. I don't know if the time has come for the Great Labyrinth to regain its appearance on the day of its existence. And what is the recovery rate?"

"I'm leaving this to my homunculus and the others, so I'm still working on it. We've already thrown in half the gendarmerie."

It was fortunate that the transfer was opened early to Distinyland.

New homunculus continues to be produced in the spaceship Shangri-La, where they were created and nurtured.

If the metastasis passes, if Lily calls, everyone immediately falls for it.

Using my loyalty to absolute obedience, Lily made me restore the shelter.

Boss Expand the bulkhead to the maximum extent you can move it around the reverse conical tower that runs through the center of the area where the room is located. This separates the shelter's dominant area from a completely dungeoned area.

On top of that, exterminate or stop the monsters in the ruling zone.

Extending to the first and second tiers is a wild monster, so extermination is necessary.

The third tier of golems are all monsters created by the function of the shelter, so they can be controlled. If you don't want it, you can stop it, and the stuff you can use is making you work with Homunculus.

The fourth tier is also full of wilding monsters, but if we set up a magic environment with ground vein control, we can stop element-based monsters from gushing out, and if we leave them alone, monsters that prey on elementals can starve to death, plus monsters that prey on them, and destroy them in chains. I'm not in a situation where I have to mine on the fourth tier right now, so I can leave it here until the cleaning is complete.

The fifth tier, like the third, is that all the monsters that emerge here belong to the shelter.

However, this is a pure combat golem that boasts the ability to fight the difference between a third-level working golem and a torn one. It is also natural to be certified as a Rank 5 Monster.

Also, Karamara God has already left, so the type of monster that was affected by it has also vanished.

Only the fifth tier has made the whole area the safest place under Lily's control. From now on, this will be the hub for running a pandemonium utilizing ancient shelter functions.

"Anyone who lets them live in an underground shelter will be selected from the Central District according to their brainwashing progress. You can leave this one to me. So, Joseph, I ask you to rule the outer periphery."

It is the birth of a big boss from the boss of a fallen weak gang, who manages to cling to the declining Anglo-South, binding all the outer peripheral districts of East, West, North and South except the center.

And Lily doesn't want control by a backing organization called Gang or anything else anymore.

"Joseph Rodriguez, you are going to name the Grand Duke. And then you'll take Carla Mara's name."

"Ha, Grand Duke..."

It's not a royal blood muscle or anything. Although there is no justification whatsoever for that position --Lily is already reigning as the queen who rules this country.

If she leaves it, it becomes legitimate.

From the ex, there is no king in Carlamara. Therefore whoever proclaims the king of the land will have the right to decide everything as the first king.

"The outer periphery of Carla Mara is bigger and more populous than the Central District. Grand Duke, if you don't keep your name about it, you won't even dress up, will you?

"Ha! From this I will name Archduke Joseph Rodriguez Carlamara!!

The promise Lily made to Joseph, to rule over all of Carla Mara. It was only now that the promise was fulfilled.
